Cave in Conwy (Bwrdeistref Sirol)
Coflein entry:
"Rhiwledyn cave was noted in January 1974 in the sheer cliff, access only being possible by using mountaineering equipment. The entrance does not seem to have been disturbed, and the disturbance inside is minimal. However, inside the cave a chamber was found to have a small pit in the floor, possibly dug by an antiquarian many years ago. While debris was being cleared human and animal bones were found under a stalagmite floor. It is hoped to excavate later in 1974. "
